TV best bets with Republican convention, Ryan Phillippe, series finale of ‘Hell on Wheels’

AMC’s “Hell on Wheels” ends its five-season run on Saturday night with more violence and death forthcoming.

USA on Tuesday brings film star Ryan Phillippe to TV as an ex-Marine sniper hero tapped by his former commanding officer (Omar Epps) to stop a sniper from assassinating the president. (UPDATE: Due to the recent spate of police shootings, USA has delayed the debut of this drama.)

Three shows based out of Atlanta return: VH1’s ‘T.I. & Tiny” on Monday, Lifetime’s second season of “The Rap Game” on Friday and Starz’ “Survivor’s Remorse” (with Mike Epps departing) on Sunday.

And the Republicans have begun their national convention in Cleveland.

“Survivor’s Remorse”10 p.m. Sunday Starz (third season debut) — Mike Epps left “Survivor’s Remorse” for ABC’s “Uncle Buck,” which was quickly cancelled. Unfortunately, the show killed off his character Uncle Julius.
